PRIVACY POLICY

(DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT)

We take the matter of protecting the personal data of our users very seriously and strictly adhere to the relevant provisions of data
protection legislation (such as TMG; BDSG). Similarly, all data collected is protected to the very best of our ability by the technological
and organizational measures put in place in our IT security and privacy policies. As a matter of principle, your data is not forwarded to
third parties. Exceptions to this rule shall apply solely in the case of statutory or legal requirements, or when you have specifically
approved such forwarding of data, or have expressed a wish for this to be done.

This statement provides you with an overview of the measure designed to assure such protection, together with an outline of the type of data
collected and the purposes for which this is used.

If you wish to be sent more detailed information, or have questions relating to the use of your data on these internet pages that are not
answered in this data protection statement (”Privacy Policy”), please do not hesitate to contact us. You will find our contact data at

I. Automatic data processing on this internet page

When you access internet pages, the information transferred to us by your browser is automatically stored in our "server log files".
This includes:

Browser type/version

Operating system used

Referrer URL (the page last visited)

Host name of the computer accessing the site (IP address)

Time of the server enquiry

The technology used is such that we are unable to assign such data to specific persons. No attempt is made to link this data to other data
sources (e.g. any registration data that may exist), and data is, following a statistical evaluation, deleted and not retained as an individual
data record set.

II. Services requiring log-in - newsletters, etc.

If you would like to access the (personalized and/or paid content) services offered on the website, we may, in order to provide this service
and for billing purposes, require further information from you.

Most notably, this shall include your name, your (valid) email address, and further particulars (address, telephone number, etc.), which enable
us to check that you are, for example, the owner of the email address provided, or that the owner thereof agrees to receive the relevant
services, in order to be able to supply the desired services and, finally, in order to render accounts and serve invoices in the due manner.

Entry of a valid email address is required in order for us to prevent misuse of registration procedures - in the case of newsletters, for
example. We therefore rely on the so-called. "double opt-in" process, in which you are sent, after entering your email address on our websites,
a so-called confirm mail to act as authentication of your registration, and as part of which you are, by clicking a corresponding link,
required to verify your email address.

The data in question is so-called personal ("person-linked”) data, i.e. data that can be used to estab-lish your identity. As a matter of
principle, however, you are able to use our free internet services with-out having to reveal your identity in either full or in part.

Additionally, you may, when signing up/logging in to our services, provide us with further information - going beyond that required for the
rendering of the service (such as sector, occupational group, age, etc.) - on a voluntary basis by entering this in the appropriate fields or
boxes. Such data is used by us to align services more closely to the needs of users, for product information and advertising purposes, and
also for customer relations purposes. As a matter of principle, data is not forwarded to third parties (cf. above).

IV. Revoking the (continued) processing and utilization of data

At any time, you may notify us that you wish to revoke the authorization previously given to us to store your personal data, and to make
use thereof to provide the respective services.

Please note that, even in the event of such a revocation notice instructing us to stop using and/or stor-ing data, we reserve the right to
continue to use your data to the extent that this may be required for billing purposes.

Moreover, instructions preventing us from making continued use of your data will inevitably mean that you may no longer be able to receive the
services (newsletters, etc.) to which you subscribe, and that we shall have to terminate the supply of the services without further delay. As
part of this process, your personal data will immediately be deleted and no longer retained in our data records.

thereof, the persons receiving such data, and the storage purpose.
